Arellano, AUF, EAC join NCAA as guest teams

[pepman]

MANILA, Philippines – Arellano University, Angeles U Foundation and Emilio Aguinaldo College have all agreed to see action in this year’s NCAA, making it a 10-team field in the basketball competitions set to start June 27 at the Araneta Coliseum.

League president Fr. Mat de Jesus, OSB, of host San Beda yesterday said the three schools had agreed to the conditions earlier set by the league before they could play as guest teams in the country’s oldest collegiate league.

“All three schools have accepted the invitation and conditions, which means we’ll be having 10 teams this season,” said De Jesus, who arrived Thursday night from an official trip in Singapore.

The three teams will thus join Mapua, Letran, San Sebastian, Jose Rizal U, St. Benilde, Perpetual Help and defending three-time champion San Beda.

Arellano, EAC and AUF all agreed on the league conditions, including participation in six mandatory sports – basketball, volleyball, football, swimming, cheerleading and centerpiece track and field.

The guest teams will also pay a fee worth P1.5 million and a cash bond amounting to P500,000, which is refundable at the end of the season.

The three also agreed to abide by the NCAA constitution and by-laws, ground rules and all other league rules and regulations and respect the decisions of the Policy Board and Management Committee chaired by De Jesus and Jose Mari Lacson, respectively, also of San Beda.

Athletes, coaches and team officials of all three guest schools must also agree to arbitrate, in lieu of court litigation, in any and all disputes that may arise from fielding a team in Season 85.

De Jesus, however, stressed that the three schools’ acceptance as guest teams does not mean gaining league membership.

looks like you're alone here... :lol:

[RedRidingDragon]

Bagong Gising?

[eisunemo]

hahaha, grabe naman kayo...

[colbysurvivor]

i think what NCAA did was a smart move. this is also to revitalize the league considering the absence of pcu.

i do expect more action and more support coming from respective schools.

go ncaa!

[Drahow ein Ente]

first!!!!!!





er... fourth? :lol:

[likou]

EAC, red/white din diba??
naku magkapareho pa ng San Beda.

Mabuhay Rizal!!
¡Ánimo San Beda!!
Hail to the chiefs!!!

[Katchatore]

So it is guaranteed that the NCAA tourney will finish later than the UAAP.

[chellotte8]

EAC, red/white din diba??
naku magkapareho pa ng San Beda.

Mabuhay Rizal!!
¡Ánimo San Beda!!
Hail to the chiefs!!!

San Beda is and will always be Red and White,

EAC should change color.

[emzan]

^ no need to change color,
the stags and the cardinals
have the same colors as well

[eisunemo]

^ no need to change color,
the stags and the cardinals

Bullseye!:D

[rpp18]

baste i think is red and gold, while mapua is red and yellow?? not sure

[eisunemo]

baste i think is red and gold, while mapua is red and yellow?? not sure

Oo nga naman. Siguro pag ginawang crimson yung red, di masyado obvious na pinalitan lang ng pangalan.:)

[chellotte8]

baste i think is red and gold, while mapua is red and yellow?? not sure

No they don't have the same colors...

[nuss]

kung hindi yung hail ng chiefs ang pinuntirya, yung red and white ng eac. ano ba talaga, ate? :lol:

[King_neroj]

THEY CALL IT BUSINESS!

2 million x 3 = 6 million (not bad)

[AltarBoy^_^]

the NCAA calls it business.... :evilgrin:

the 3 guest teams call it, "testing the waters".... :laugh:

[ylle41]

the more the better...:D:bop:

GO NCAA!!!:D

[Katchatore]

Kinda worried about AUF. It will be a logistical nightmare for them.

[daisy_letran]

let us all welcome our 3 guest teams in the NCAA

[rpp18]

welcome to the ncaa jungle AU/AUF/EAC!

[ylle41]

Kinda worried about AUF. It will be a logistical nightmare for them.

I rather pick Lyceum kaysa AUF. I hope AUF prove na strong contender sila sa NCAA.

[pol_jay27]

paano pag yung guest team ang nag champion??? diba off yun para sa mga orig cast...? just asking.

[ylle41]

siguro sure slot kapag champion ang guest team hehe...

Three NCAA ‘additions’ flabbergasted

By Beth Celis
Philippine Daily Inquirer

Filed Under: Basketball

SHORTLY AFTER guest schools Arellano University, Emilio Aguinaldo College and Angeles University Foundation were assessed P2 million each (P1.5 million for tournament fee, P500,000 for bond), the NCAA management committee informed them that athletes who participated in the last NCRAA (National Capital Region Athletic Association) would not be eligible to play in this season’s tournaments.

According to the committee, an athlete is required a year’s residency if he participated in another major league the previous year like, for example, the NCRAA. The requirement does not apply to freshmen and athletes who did not compete in any organized tournament in the previous year.

The three schools were reportedly flabbergasted. Arellano and EAC, both NCRAA regulars, had agreed to join the NCAA even only as guest teams, based on the premise that the athletes they had trained in the NCRAA will be “elevated” to the NCAA.

Now the league is telling them to scrounge around for new players. They will have to start from scratch. In the case of basketball, they only have two months to form a new team since the opening is set on June 27.

Time constraint is not the only problem. Where will they get their players? A basketball Team B is definitely not competitive, assuming any of the three schools has one.

An all-freshman lineup, on the other hand, will be a pushover.

“For sure, the three newcomers will become the whipping boys of the league—which defeats the purpose of acquiring additional teams, as envisioned by television coveror ABS-CBN,” said an official of one of the schools.

He pointed out that in the case of the College of St. Benilde, the school was allowed to field in their NCRAA athletes when they joined the NCAA some years back.

[ylle41]

kung ang NCAA schools have 1 year to prepare sa recruiting players/ guest teams pa kaya na wala pang full commitment players magagawa nila kaya ito for 2 months?

[dark_blue]

ang labo talaga ng mancom. bakit nung sumali na sila, saka sinabi yang "rule" na yan? ano yun? pinerahan yung 3 schools?:eek:

[pyke]

Sobrang labo.... how can we mount a serious challenge di ba?

[AltarBoy^_^]

Actually in CSB's case, not everyone in the 1997-1998 NCRAA line-up made it to the NCAA. Example of players from the Blazers line-up who didn't make it to the 1998-1999 NCAA season was Coach Caloy Garcia, Tomie Nordell and Nikko Santos. The only player that I remember who got in from the NCRAA wars was Junie Lopez plus a few freshmen recruits at that time like Jay Lapinid. :smokin:

What worries me is that players from the guest teams are over the age limit and they didn't abide by certain rules that the Policy Board implemented like years of eligibility from the NCRAA to the NCAA because there is no existing MOA between the two leagues. That is the root concern of the Policy Board, and that is the howl of indignation by the guest teams. No wonder the entrance fee is refundable less expenses. :glee:

The real issue here will be years of eligibility and the age limit. CSB didn't bring everyone from the NCRAA and the they had to grab key transferees (UST team B's like Jondan Salvador and Magpayo.) before becoming a champion team in 2000. :D

[AltarBoy^_^]

ang labo talaga ng mancom. bakit nung sumali na sila, saka sinabi yang "rule" na yan? ano yun? pinerahan yung 3 schools?:eek:

Masanay na kayo sa Policy Board and MANCOM, God knows how hard we try to understand the politics between old grumpy men/women and the mutating NCAA Rulebook that they use and implement every year. :laugh:

[nuss]

old grumpy men/women sina atayde, supan, at fr. vic? baka magalit sila sa ganyang description mo sa kanila? :lol:

nilabas din pala yan. nagkausap kami ni nomar isla tungkol diyan. sabi niya quiet muna para hindi mahalatang dehado sila then gulatan na lang sa june.

sabi nga niya, 'nagbabayad sila ng matrikula.'

gusto niyo patas ang laban tapos dami niyong tanong pano kung guest team ang magchampion... yan nasagot mga katanungan niyo. :lol:

[AltarBoy^_^]

Kung hindi sila grumpy at old eh exempted sila! :laugh:

[redroar]

mancom = ********

[Rafiboy_05]

wow! labo ah. baka gusto nilang bago yung mga players ng guest schools para di naman mapahiya yung ibang member schools kasi baka yung guest school matalo pa yung member school sa ibang events.

[dakilangungaz]

Kinda worried about AUF. It will be a logistical nightmare for them.

makakasabay yan... madami naman silang mga nursing na magbibigay na lakas:D



:blowsmoke:

[dakilangungaz]

asan na PCU?? di ba sasali???


10 teams???



hindi ba dapat 11???

:blowsmoke:

[dark_blue]

^PCU took an indefinite leave of absence. They can rejoin next year if they want. May fee yata pag sasali uli.

[Drahow ein Ente]

sus nagpasali pa sila nyan ah :lol:

caloy garcia played for the blazers for one season

[AltarBoy^_^]

jmmdg - Coach Caloy played in CSB's first season in the NCAA? :D

[legman11]

sino nakakakilala sa number 19 player ng eac? chinese ata un.. ang tangkad..hehe

[ser07]

may kaibigan ako sa AUF.... wala siyang idea about their school joining ncaa as guest.. ahehe i think they will have a problem regarding their CROWD...

[dakilangungaz]

ako din kung diko lang nabasa dito sa pex:D



kaya ng AUF makipagsabayan sa NCAA...


madami naman mga kapampangan na magaling sa basketball*okay*


crowd??? mukha nga.. layo ng pampanga sa manila...


:blowsmoke:

[Katchatore]

Kelangan pa nila mag-bus ng pep, drums and crowd 3-4 hours before and after the games. Logistical nightmare.

[AltarBoy^_^]

Not only for them but for the league itself and the Araneta Coliseum management if they decided to cram everyone in one day. I just hope there's no stampede. :smokin:

[try_0]

Namputik. . . . Gud luck as AUF. . .

[RougePercer]

May schedules na ba ng mga games? SMBT?

Thanks.

[Drahow ein Ente]

kung umabot sa finals ang AUF will they have at least one game held there? ganoon yata sa NCRAA(?) when la salle dasma made it to the finals.

[Rafiboy_05]

^^ NCRAA yun, iba yun sa NCAA. papayag ba ang mga member schools na maglaro ang isa sa kanila sa teritoryo ng kalaban? mukhang hindi.

[AltarBoy^_^]

And the league relies on ticket sales in a neutral playing venue. That is why they usually hold it in RMC or Ninoy, Cuneta Astrodome, San Juan Arena, PSC Ultra, and Araneta Coliseum. That is why for the guest teams, it will be hard for them to adjust to the rules of the league. ;)

saan ba ang venue of games ng NCAA ngayon?

[AltarBoy^_^]

Yan ang hindi pa natin alam, and as usual MANCOM is full of surprises. Basta Araneta ang opening, hulaan na lang tayo sa regular venue/s. :devious:

[Rafiboy_05]

saan ba ang venue of games ng NCAA ngayon?

tentative pa lang ito pero mukhang babalik ang NCAA sa The ARENA

[ylle41]

tentative pa lang ito pero mukhang babalik ang NCAA sa The ARENA

mukhang tambayan ko ulit ang Arena:lol:

from UAAP volleyball, v-league, fil-oil tapos dito na pala NCAA ah...:drive::cheers:

[ylle41]

tentative pa lang ito pero mukhang babalik ang NCAA sa The ARENA

wala bang Araneta elimination games except opening?

[letran_torotot]

Kelan kaya babalik sa Rizal coliseum? Nakakamiss.:D

The blue bleachers(na bitak bitak), the windows, the warm air, the smell, the moist bodies, the drums hanged at the barriers, the banana cue, softdrinks and yosi combo outside, at yung apat na poste obstructing your view.

Kawawa naman mga bata ngayon, di nila naexperience yun.:lol:

[andyknight18]

^^ the beauty of watching our PEP squad side by side..:D the dreaded alumni's who tossed the referees with curse and blatant words, the smell of sweat and sound of the gallery.. school spirit, at it's FINEST!!

miss ko na RIZAL!!*okay*

ARRIBA!!

[ylle41]

di ba ok na ventilation ng RMC ngayon?

miss ko na din ang NAS days hehe...

[dark_lords]

wala bang Araneta elimination games except opening?


As far as i know there was one game (elimination round) sa Araneta last season and it was between Letran and San Beda. Who knows baka mag schedule ulit sa Araneta.

[AltarBoy^_^]

For as long as hindi pa renovated ang RMC at walang aircondition eh malamang hindi tayo babalik dun (unless gipit tayo sa pera?). Miss ko rin siya, dun kami nakatikim ng unang kampeonato sa basketball. Sana gawan ng paraan ng PSC na mag-improve ang venue. :(

ako rin miss ko na ang NAS, yung laging may tulo kapag maulan :lol:

[likou]

baste i think is red and gold, while mapua is red and yellow?? not sure

pareho, red and gold (baste at mapua)

[Drahow ein Ente]

Baste: Gold, red and white. Gold is the primary color
Mapua: Red, gold and black. Red is the primary color, and its quite darker than the normal red.

[likou]

huh?? Tig-3 ba ang kulay ng mapua at baste??
Two lang base sa Wiki eh~
well, anyway.. yaan na natin yan~ wala naman sa kulay yan eh~

hahah..may aircon kaya ang RMC!haha

[Clarkent]

Inannounce na ba kung kailan ang opening?

i assume mga 2nd or 3rd saturday of July... either July 11 or July 18..

10 teams means 5 games on the opening?

we now have more teams and shall have more games per week, i guess its about time to televise also the monday games, and add atleast one more match per week.

[Drahow ein Ente]

some teams have tertiary (third) colors

like Letran's it's white, for UPHR it's gold, for UP white also.

Sa Wiki 2 colors lang pwede na.

i just got the info, opening will be on June 27..

you beat me in posting rafi.. thanks
i stand corrected.

[Clarkent]

btw, i saw in one of the Arellano team pics, they're wearing Blue/Red(Maroon?) with White uniform.. are they going to use this as their official jersey colors on the upcoming season?

I hope it wont confuse with Letran colors, although Maroon sila instead of Red.

http://www.arellano.edu.ph/backoffice/filerep/_uploads/f_20070615-021319_Fr_2.jpg

[Drahow ein Ente]

Yes, blue and maroon ang Arellano, pero parang paler yung blue nila.

Anyone knows the school colors of AUF?

[pepman]

Parang Blue siya, na parang sa San Mig Coffee na uniform sa PBL noon.

[eisunemo]

Arellano University uses the color Maroon, Blue, and Silver.

[bravoismo]

Baste: Gold, red and white. Gold is the primary color
Mapua: Red, gold and black. Red is the primary color, and its quite darker than the normal red.

red po ang primary color secondary ang gold

[likou]

Hail to the Chiefs!

[eisunemo]

Baste i think is gold. (Read:golden stags)

[gmufool]

huwag natin i-underestimate ang auf lalo na sa men's volleyball,sa national prisaa nag runner up sila last year,champion that time ang ust,this year medyo nasilat sila so nasa 4th yata o 3rd sila sa national prisaa...dagdag pa,guwapo mga players nila lol...heto ang isa sa mga player nila,too bad graduate na siya,katatapos lang ng 5th year niya,sabi nga niya sayang daw kasi hindi siya nakaabot sa ncaa,pero watch nyo ang isa sa mga player nila na mataas tumalon,cunanan apelyido niya,naglalaro sila ngayon sa toribio cup (hindi ko alam kung tama iyong spelling) too bad natalo sila kahapon ng san beda...heto nga pala ang isa sa guwapong player ng auf,kaso wala na siya...

http://profiles.friendster.com/rockysilva

[meteorcatcher]

oo F.R TORIBIO CUP yun. kanina nanuod din ako ng laban ng AUF vs. UE (volleyball), Talo din sila kanina sa UE. Sa babae Tambak lalu na yung 3rd set 25-3 yata ang score. Talo sila in 3 straight sets.

Sa mens volleyball talo din sila ng UE in 3 straight sets.

Nakita ko nga yang mga sinasabi mong players pati yung cunanan. Tama Magaling sya.

[theo78]

with that score, baka may pag-asa pa ang sbc women's team na manalo over arellano...san sebastian? i do expect scores na below 10s na straight sets for the lady stags kahit wala na sina latigay at sasa pag ganyan...i hope maging competitive ang women's volleyball (na ginawa nang mandatory...which means, mapua must have a team na this season 85 dahil meron na ang san beda at jru)...

mahaba ang liga...90 games sa men's basketball...don't know kung ano ang set-up sa women's volleyball...double round rin siguro ito...

[Emperior7]

i think.. mahihirapan ang magiging magastos ang AUF.. considering na every game nila mag bubus sila from pampanga to manila.. kapagod mag biyahe..


welcome to the ncaa jungle AU/AUF/EAC!

sayang nga iyong team ng auf...pero kung napaaga ang sali ng men's volleyball team nila sa ncaa isa sila sa mga katatakutan,imagine silver sila sa national prisaa sa pagkakaalam ko nakaisang set pa sila sa ust...iyong ust na team that time eh ang ust na nagchampion against feu 2 years ago...ngayon kasi halos puro freshmen ang players nila...iyong cunanan 18 y/o lang tapos 2nd year pa lang kaya medyo lalakas pang lalo iyon...i think kaya naman i-finance ng auf ang biyahe kapag me laro sila,mukha namang mayaman me ari ng auf,private school siya eh saka isa sa pinakamahal na school sa pampanga

[Kogure03]

ayos toh! next time MMA na!!! haha mag eenrol uli ako ng school kahit graduate na!

[da_wyzman]

ang gulo ng board acquiring the guest team (s)..

ang sabi sa lyceum bawal daw kasi ang sectarian na high school (don bosco "would" be their hs team) but then, na-contest naman yung benilde-and their lasaale hs couterpart.
then after iniba nanaman ang dahilan, dapat daw kasi fully acquired or in the school system daw dapat talaga yung hs counterpart...
haaay... politics pa rin ba hanggang dito?

politics is business....
and
business is poloitics... ayun lang...

[pettie02]

Good luck sa AUF. :lol:

[nuss]

^^ang alam ko nga busko nag-apply ng sarili nila. may seniors team naman sila. yung basketball team nga champion sa ncaa-south.

[Drahow ein Ente]

teka muna... NCAA South??

[nuss]

first time mong narinig yon? since 1999 pa iyang ligang iyan.

[ylle41]

yes, may NCAA south... ito lang ah I'm bit worried aware ba ang AUF, Arellano and EAC students and alumni about their NCAA campaign?

[nuss]

may tarp sa labas ng arellano that the school is looking for players for the ncaa. talk about open tryouts. :lol:

[Drahow ein Ente]

alam kong may NCAA South.


Pero nasa NCAA-South ang AUF?

[theo78]

siguro sa other mandatory sports...

[eisunemo]

may tarp sa labas ng arellano that the school is looking for players for the ncaa. talk about open tryouts. :lol:

Napansin ko na din yun, yun ba yung may logo ng chiefs?

AFAIK, tapos na ang tryouts nung summer pa, hindi pa lang tinatanggal ng maintenance yung tarp.

OT: AU student population grew to as much as 115%.

[nuss]

wag kang pilosopo. malinaw na nakasaad sa post ko na BUSKO iyong tinutukoy ko na nag-apply. lolz

[theo78]

we should wish the guest teams the best of luck... :)
